HONDA CRF150R/RB
ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN
· High-Performance Unicam® cylinder head design
· Lightweight, compact, internal auto decompression and handlebar-mounted hot-start system provide easy starting, hot or cold.
· Compact, lightweight engine assembly weighs only 43.6 pounds
· Crankshaft is made of high-strength, low-carbon steel with carburized main journals for maximum durability at sustained high-rpm operation
· Forged 11.7:1-compression slipper piston and rings are lighter than a conventional design, revving quickly while maintaining excellent cylinder sealing and high-rpm power
· Double-carburised connecting rod utilises a big-end needle bearing for maximum high-rpm performance and durability
· Nikasil cylinder lining is lightweight and provides cooler operation for extended engine life
· Press-fitted aluminum spark plug pipe fits between the two exhaust rocker arms, further contributing to compact cylinder-head design
· 32mm Keihin FCR carburetor features four rollers on the flat slide, resulting in very light throttle effort, smooth operation, crisp throttle response and excellent rideability
· Carburetor features a throttle position sensor (TPS) that helps maintain a linear throttle response throughout the range
· Twin-sump lubrication system separates the oil supply for the crankshaft, piston and valve train from the clutch and transmission. This ensures a cool supply of oil to the clutch, eliminates potential clutch and transmission material contamination of the engine oil, reduces the amount of circulating oil and permits the use of a smaller oil pump

· Steering response and overall handling were improved by positioning the front wheel 15mm farther back and closer to the crankshaft
· Frame, steering head and swingarm modifications permit a reduction in triple-clamp offset (22mm to 20mm)
· Removable rear subframe was redesigned to eliminate brackets. Shape altered to improve air filter access and narrow the bike profile
· HPSD features a compact damper attached to the lower triple clamp and the steering head to allow more aggressive steering characteristics and assist straight-line handling. Damping action smoothly progresses as handlebar deflection increases, which produces very natural steering characteristics and feel
· Pro-Link® Rear Suspension features exclusive Showa integrated reservoir with all-new damping and spring settings
· Brake system integrates the rear master-cylinder and fluid reservoir, eliminating the separate reservoir and hose

HONDA CRF450R
ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN

· Advanced 4-stroke 4-valve Unicam engine churns out 41.5kW of power at 8,500rpm and 50.3Nm of torque at 7,000rpm. Power is produced across a broad rpm-band for smooth, easy operation
· Powerful, liquid-cooled 449.7cc engine pumps out nearly 92.3kW per litre with legendary simplicity and dependability
· Lightweight, battery-less fuel injection/ignition system delivers optimal power over a wide, high power range as well as kick-start capability
· Fuel injection indicator integrated with engine stop switch shows pre-race conditions of the fuel injection system
· Fuel injection system features automatic settings that deliver the same engine character and driveability in differing altitudes
· High fuel efficiency allows use of compact and lightweight fuel tank
· Thin-walled crankcase casting reduces wall thickness, keeping weight to a minimum
· Large-diameter throttle body (50mm) delivers impressive power and performance across the entire range
· Innovative Unicam valve train provides both the light weight of a compact single-cam drive and an optimum combustion chamber shape for maximum power at all engine speeds
· Unicam valve train features a single carburized camshaft directly actuating two 36mm titanium intake valves. The auto decompressor system executes valve-lifting by causing the decomp pin that is built into the camshaft to push the single rocker arm. This contributes to the overall compactness and light weight of the design by integrating decompressor and camshaft weight
